The current regulations do not provide specific guidance on locating beehives in residential areas. However, most Irish beekeepers are members of the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Associations (FIBKA). FIBKA provides guidance on this matter in the Frequently Asked Questions part of their website, www.irishbeekeeping.ie.
